The market took another turn to-day, and,
with the exception of short period in the early
morning. was steady to firm throughout, al
though the general list was sluggish and, for the
most part, featureess. London had orders to
buy in this market at the opening. and the
better tone of European bourses. with the more
pacific adTices made this market strong at first.
The bears and room traders, who are now OF a
bearish tendency, however, were free sellers,
and some realizations helped to check the ad-
vance. There was no pressure to sell except in
Jersey Central, New England and Richmond &
West Point, each of which recorded material
decline. The traders, however, soon be-
gan to cover. and a moderately firm

Chicago Walters to Strike.

CHICAGO, May 2-The probabilities are
that to-day about 900 white and 200 colored
walters employed in the various hotels and
restaurants of Chicago will strike for an in
crease of wages, in accordance with the scale
adopted by Walters Assembly 7475 Knights
of Labor. The scale provides for an increase
of an average of Sl.25 per week over the
present rate, which in restaurants and oyster
houses is 50 a week and board for steady men,
with deduction of p cents per week for
washing.
Appearances denote that the demand Will
be refused. Several restaurant proprietors
have been seen and all say that they can not
afford to nay any such advance. The men
are getting high wages now and any increase
would neceSsitate an increase of prices on the
bills of fare. There was a general feeling
among the proprietors of restaurants where
white walters were employed to odispense with
them entirely and employ colored men in
their places

THE PRESIDENT AND LAMAR.
Officials on the Guilford Miller Case-At-
tOrney-General Garland InterHiaMad

torney-General Garland Interviewed.
WASHINGTON, April 29-The publication
of the Presidents letter to the Secretary of
the Interior in rega rd to the Guilford Miller
case is received with great satisfaction by
officials of the Government, and others here
whose attention has been attracted to the
matter. Secretary Lama is absent from the
city nd an expression of opinion from him
regarding the Presidents letter could not be
obtained. 1t is said at the Interior Depart
ment, however, that Mr. Lamar will regard
the letter as mandatory; that he is in full
accord with its sentiments, and that he
Will gladly comply with its provisions as
soon as he shall have returned and resumed
his official duties again. Attorney General
Garland in conversation concerning the case
said: Il am quite as much in sympathy with
Gullford Miller as anyone else is NV posi-
ton in regard to the matter ought not to be
misunderstood. The question submitted to
me wa, briefly this: Whether at the COM
mencement of or at any time during the al
legged settlement of Miller, and before tho
selections made by the railroad company, the
tract referred to was open to homestead
entry. This you will see is a simple PROPOSE
ton Of hw. l referred it to three of my as-
sociates, viz: Solicitor-G General jerks, As
sistant Attorney General Maury and Mr..
Bentley, the law clerk of the department. All
four OF us reached the same conclusion.
Now, if, in connection with this, the Sec
retary OF the Interior had put this
question: And if you found that it was
not, is there any equitable way by which
the railroad can be protected and Miller
secured in his rights of settlement then l
should have answered precisely as the PreSi-
dent has. But it is not my business TO make
questions. | am supposed to answer only
those submitted to me for consideration. I
could not do otherwise without appe airing
oficious. l may go further than this and
say that talked with the President about it
a few days ago, and the argument made by
me on that occasion forms the basis Of his
letter which was given to the public"
